What currency will I be invoiced in?

INR. Quotes, milestones and the final invoice are all written in INR so you are never comparing a converted figure against a local supplier's. Regarding tax: GST at 18% on your sales; my invoices are imported services under reverse charge.

How much does a website cost in Patna?

A business website starts from ₹6,600 and goes live in about three days. An e-commerce build starts from ₹12,000 in around seven days, and a custom application from ₹17,000 in ten. Those are starting figures — the exact number is fixed in writing once scope is agreed, and it does not move after that.

How do you handle our customers' data under Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023?

Your customer data is governed by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, and sending it to a developer in Pakistan is a restricted transfer. That is resolved by the DPDP Act permits transfers except to notified countries, and the DPA records the basis, published on this site and pre-signed before you send an enquiry — not drafted after you ask about it.

Who owns the website when it is finished?

You do, completely. The domain is registered in your name, hosting sits in your account, the code lives in a repository you control, and any payment provider account is opened in your business name. Credentials are handed to you as they are created rather than at the end, so you are never locked out of your own site.

Can you migrate my Patna site without losing rankings?

Yes, and the redirect map is the whole job. Every existing URL is mapped to its new equivalent with a 301 before launch, and anything with no equivalent goes to the closest relevant page rather than the homepage. Sites lose rankings in migration because that mapping was skipped, not because migration is inherently risky.

Do you build on WordPress or something custom?

Whichever the project justifies. WordPress when you need to edit content constantly and want a familiar admin. A static build when speed and security matter more than a plugin ecosystem. Custom PHP and MySQL when the logic is genuinely yours. The choice is explained in the quote with its trade-offs, not presented as a foregone conclusion.

Do you actually work with businesses in Patna?

Yes, remotely. I work with Indian clients from Islamabad, quoting in INR and invoicing in INR. I have no office, address or phone number in Patna and will not pretend otherwise. If your project needs someone physically present, hire locally — I will say so in the first reply rather than after a deposit.

Web developer in Patna

Websites, online stores and technical SEO for Patna businesses — built remotely from Islamabad, quoted in INR, scoped in writing before anything starts.

The single most expensive mistake I see in Patna is a site built to impress the owner rather than convert the customer. Animation on the hero, the phone number in an image, the price hidden behind "contact us". Each one is defensible on its own and together they cost real money every month.

What working with a Indian client actually changes

These are the terms that differ by country rather than by town. They apply to every business in India, Patna included, and they are the substance of what this page is claiming.

Quoted and invoiced in	INR — never a converted figure presented at the end
Tax position	GST at 18% on your sales; my invoices are imported services under reverse charge
Your customers' data sits under	the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023
Lawful transfer mechanism	the DPDP Act permits transfers except to notified countries, and the DPA records the basis
Checkout can realistically use	Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, and UPI — which now carries the majority of domestic transaction volume
My day, in Patna time	09:30–18:30 — about 8.5 hours inside a normal working day

One thing worth knowing about building for India

UPI changes the entire checkout design. An Indian store built around card fields first and UPI as an afterthought converts far worse than one built the other way round, and that is a layout decision, not a plugin.

Accessibility on a Patna build, and why it is not optional

Keyboard navigation, real contrast ratios, form labels that are actually associated with their inputs, and alt text that describes rather than repeats. None of it is expensive when built in from the start and all of it is expensive to retrofit, which is the entire argument for doing it in the first pass.

The commercial case is simpler than the legal one: a site that a screen reader can navigate is a site that a search engine can parse, because both are reading the same semantic structure. Accessibility work and technical SEO overlap far more than either discipline usually admits, and in Patna the same build serves both.

Retail and e-commerce in Patna

A store is judged at the checkout, not the homepage. For India that means the payment methods have to match what people actually use — Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, and UPI — which now carries the majority of domestic transaction volume — and the cart has to survive a slow connection and a page refresh. Most abandoned baskets are not indecision; they are a checkout that broke and gave no reason why.

The second issue is stock truth. A product page saying "in stock" when it is not costs you the sale and the customer, and the fix is unglamorous plumbing between wherever your stock actually lives and the storefront. That is worth a day of work far more than the product photography carousel is.

The contact form that silently fails

The most expensive bug on a small business website makes no noise at all. A form posts, shows a thank-you message, and the email never arrives — usually because the host's mail function is unauthenticated and the receiving server drops it without a bounce. The business concludes demand fell.

The fix is authenticated SMTP with SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured on the sending domain, plus a database write so a submission survives even when delivery fails. If you are unsure whether your Patna site has this problem, submit your own form from a phone on mobile data and see what actually arrives.

Hiring a developer who is not in Patna

Currency is worth being blunt about. Quoting a Indian client in INR and then invoicing something else at a rate that moved is a way of raising the price quietly, and it is common enough that you should ask any overseas supplier about it directly. The number agreed at scoping is the number invoiced, and exchange-rate movement is my problem rather than yours.

What I build for Patna businesses

Fixed-scope, fixed-price, quoted in INR. The full list is on the services page.

E-commerce website development I build online stores end to end — catalogue, cart, Stripe checkout, order emails and the technical SEO that gets them found. Six of the fifteen sites I have shipped are e-commerce builds, and every one of them takes real payments. From $150 · 7 days Technical SEO audits and implementation Most SEO audits hand you a 60-page document and an invoice. I am a developer first, so I find the problems and then fix them in the codebase — crawlability, indexation, schema, Core Web Vitals, and whether AI answer engines can read your site at all. From $80 · 3 days Business website development Most small business websites fail at one job: turning a stranger who searched for your service into a phone call. I build the version that does — three days, mobile-first, live on your own hosting, with the enquiry form tested before anybody sees it. From $80 · 3 days Custom website development A template is the right answer more often than developers like to admit. This page is about the times it is not — when the thing your business does has a shape no theme author anticipated, and forcing it into one costs more in permanent workarounds than building it properly would have cost once. From $200 · 10 days Web application development A website presents information. An application does work — it holds state, enforces rules, and produces something at the end. Most businesses that need the second one are running it on a spreadsheet nobody is allowed to sort, and paying for that in errors rather than in software. From $200 · 10 days

Priced for Patna specifically

What I am not claiming about Patna

A location page is the easiest place on a website to imply something untrue, so here is the other side of it plainly:

I have no office, postal address or phone number in Patna
I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
I am not claiming existing clients in Patna specifically — my live work is listed on the work page and you can check it
Nothing on this page is a guarantee of search rankings, which no developer can honestly offer
